Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Opt for organic for better taste.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vinegar Crucial for the color and flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring Adjust as needed for desired color.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add in the vanilla extract, vinegar, and red food coloring, stirring until well combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mix, combining gently to avoid overmixing; a few flour streaks should still be visible.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  3. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder. Consider serving with a drizzle of chocolate glaze or ice cream for added delight.
